Juicy and Tender – A crispy, golden-brown sear keeps the chicken thighs moist and flavorful. Easy and Quick: It can be prepared in just 30 minutes, making it an ideal weeknight meal. Ingredients: Six skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs 1 cup raspberries, either fresh or frozen 16 ounces of balsamic vinegar 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey 2 minced garlic cloves 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1/3 cup salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/4 cup olive oil For garnish, use fresh rosemary or thyme. Instructions: Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil to medium-high heat. Salt and pepper the chicken thighs, and then sear them skin-side down for 5 to 7 minutes until golden brown. Cook on the flip side for five more minutes. Set aside after taking out of the skillet. To make the glaze, cook the minced garlic for 30 seconds in the same pan. Add the raspberries, honey, Dijon mustard, and balsamic vinegar. Mash the raspberries as they break down during the five minutes of simmering. Combine and cook: Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, drizzle them with the glaze, and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, for medium-rare. Sprinkle with fresh rosemary or thyme, and serve immediately with rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables. Pro Advice: To cook the chicken in less time, use boneless thighs. If you prefer a sauce that is smoother, strain the glaze. Do you need some heat? For a kick of heat, sprinkle some red pepper flakes on top!
